this is something nuclear energy does very well. >> nuclear energy technology was a bridge, was seen as a bridge, in order to have time and to make renewable energy more competitive. >> o'brien: but can you get to that renewable future without the bridge? >> you need a bridge. if it's not nuclear, we have another bridge, and this bridge is now coal in germany because we have already a large share of coal, increasing greenhouse gas emissions as a consequence. and now this share will even increase more and this is not really sustainable as an energy strategy, but you need a bridge and this is coal. >> o'brien: and that is really bad news for the environment. in fact, germany's hasty decision to abandon nuclear energy after fukushima has alarmed many climate scientists. one of the most respected of them all, nasa's james hansen, worries that germany, a nation that has signed the kyoto protocol vowing to limit carbon emissions, will end up exacerbating climate change. if everyone pulled the plug on nuclear power, what would be the consequences of that? >> well, then if we don't find an a
